Would you spend nearly four decades fighting a federal government with unlimited resources, patience, and power at its disposal to demand your right to drill for oil and gas? Or would you grow tired and give in?
Not everyone has the spine or the endurance for that type of fight, but our client, the late Sidney M. Longwell, did. Sidney never extracted any oil or gas on a lease he purchased in Montana nearly four decades ago due to arbitrary agency decision making plagued by invalid, unsupported, emotional arguments. Sadly, while waiting for a favorable decision, Sidney passed away.
But MSLF continues to defend him and his family against the impulsiveness of agencies acting absent authority. Read more about this case by following this link.
